The Chargers drove the opening possession of the game to a field goal, led 17-3 at the half and pushed that advantage to 26-3 early in the fourth quarter on their way toward the victory and the cover as six-point favorites.

Los Angeles outgained the Raiders 412-289, held a 35/25 advantage in time of possession and won the turnover battle 2-0.

Meanwhile, the Chargers defense held Oakland out of the end zone until just five minutes remained in the game.

Los Angeles has now outgained and outrushed four of its five opponents this season. At 3-2 overall, the Chargers trail 5-0 Kansas City by two games in the AFC West, so they can't afford to fall much further behind.

Why the Browns Can Cover the Spread

The Browns are now 2-2-1 on the season, and 4-1 ATS, after beating Baltimore in overtime last week 12-9.

Cleveland trailed the Ravens early 3-0, scored the next nine points of the game but allowed Baltimore to force OT with a field goal with a minute to go in regulation.

The Browns then won it with a pair of defensive stops in the extra period, a long third-down conversion and a Greg Joseph field goal with two seconds left in overtime.

Cleveland produced 416 yards of offense and won the turnover battle 2-1, creating a plus-3-point differential.

The Browns now lead the league this season in turnover ratio at plus-8. They've also outgained three of five opponents this season and outrushed four of them. But for some missed kicks early this season and an iffy call in Week 4 against the Oakland Raiders, Cleveland could be 5-0.

Smart Betting Pick

Los Angeles won this matchup last year 19-10 but the Browns covered as 13-point dogs. While the Chargers are still a pretty good team, Cleveland is better than it was that day. The smart money bets the Browns here.
